The FILM

You See Monstersis a film about the power of art to challenge assumptions, subvert racism and change the way we view the world.Australia’s demonisation of its Muslim population has taken on monstrous proportions: nearly half the nation expresses negative or ambivalent attitudes towards Muslims and
Islam is consistently represented as a threat to the much-vaunted ‘Australian way of life’. But a new generation of Australian Muslim artists is now
fighting back and using art as a battleground toassert its own agency in the face of anti-Islamic bigotry – not with defensive or apologetic arguments,
but on the front foot using the power of its imagination to create works of art that are challenging thenation to take a long hard look at it
itself.
